Whether you are hosting a large family gathering, or just a few friends and family, setting your Thanksgiving table is always fun. Years ago I used to fuss and spend hours on table decorations, but I have since learned that you can still have a beautiful table without spending a fortune or a lot of time.

Next on our Thanksgiving table are the table settings. I don’t have different dishes for each holiday (although I would love that) but we were in desperate need of a matching set of dishes, so I was excited when I found this set of dinnerware from the Better Homes and Gardens collection at Walmart. They have many different colors in this same style, and they come with a dinner plate, smaller plate, bowls and cups. I think they are classic and will last a long time. I added a cloth napkin in rust, and then a real mini pumpkin that I found in the produce section, they have several in a bag for less than $1.

Then to add a bit of a festive touch, and to give the guests something to talk about during dinner, a homemade Thanksgiving table decoration. We cut out a leaf shape from brown craft paper and used a metallic pen to write – “I’m thankful for…” on each one, so then the guests can add their special touch too.
